First there was Google Cardboard, a collapsible VR device for your smartphone made out of ... heavy duty paper.

Amazing, sure, but for $99, we'd rather pass on a device that falls apart in a rainstorm.

The new Figment VR, currently in fundraising mode via Kickstarter, mends that error. The device, which doubles as a phone case, is durable and practical, striking a sweet spot in the market between Google Cardboard and its super luxe competitor, Oculus Rift, which is rather more cumbersome.
